March 8, 2005 -- Daily application of sunflower oil significantly reduces nosocomial infections for preterm infants compared with no treatment, whereas Aquaphor has no benefit, according to the results of a randomized study in the March 3 Early Online Publication issue of The Lancet.
"Evidence is emerging that the skin is much more important as a barrier to infection than previously recognized, particularly in preterm infants whose skin is underdeveloped," lead author Gary L. Darmstadt, from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, says in a news release. "The good news is that treatment is available to strengthen the function of the skin as a barrier in these vulnerable newborns."
At Dhaka Shishu Hospital in Bangladesh, infants born before week 33 of gestation were randomized to daily massage with sunflower seed oil (n = 159) or with Aquaphor, consisting of petrolatum, mineral oil, mineral wax, and lanolin alcohol (n = 157). Using an intent-to-treat analysis, the investigators compared the incidence of nosocomial infections among infants in these two groups and in an untreated control group (n = 181).
Infants treated with sunflower seed oil were 41% less likely to develop nosocomial infections than were control infants(...) Aquaphor did not significantly reduce the risk of infection (...) There were no adverse events reported.
"Our findings confirm that skin application of sunflower seed oil provides protection against nosocomial infections in preterm very low birthweight infants," the authors write. "The low cost, availability, simplicity, (...)
Study limitations include insufficient power to assess the overall effect of Aquaphor therapy on incidence of nosocomial infections, slower enrollment than anticipated, and exhaustion of funding necessitating study closure before the enrollment target was achieved.
